Once an intra-RIR transfer market is established, it is fairly easy to see, from market prices, whether there is a surplus or shortage of IPv4 addresses within the region. If, after the RIR free pool is exhausted, prices in the region end up higher inside the region than outside it, (indicating a shortage, as was true in RIPE), then you can later expand the intra-RIR transfer policy to allow inter-RIR transfers as well, with confidence that addresses will, on net, flow into the region rather than leaving. </div><div><br><div class="acompli_signature">-Scott</div><br></div></div>
